Terrorists Raid Tel Aviv
TEL AVIV — Arab terrorists, who had come ashore in two small boats with machine guns blazing at about midnight, seized the small beachfront Savoy Hotel in Tel Aviv and held some 30 persons captive for six hours. The seige ended early in the morning when Israeli troops stormed the four-story, 10-room hostel. Seven Arab guerrillas, three Israeli soldiers and three civilians were killed in the gun fight and in an ex¬ plosion set off by the, guerrillas.
The Palestine guerrilla headquarters in Beirut, Lebanon, said the raiders were members of Assifah, the military arm of the 'Al Fatah guerrilla organization.
WASHINGTON (WNS) — President Ford, deploring the "tragic loss of innocent life" condemned the Arab terrorist attack on Tel Aviv as one which "should be strongly deplored by everyone."* Ford said "outrages of this nature can only damage the cause in whose " name they are perpetrated." Secretary of State-Henry ' A. Kissinger saying he was "completely condemning" the attack said it' "underlines the importance of making progress towards peace." Israeli President Ephraim Katzir, who was in New York, said the attack reveals the "barbaric nature of the Arab terrorist organizations." But he said the people of Israel will continue to seek peace while strengthening their determination "to protect human life from acts of barbarism." Sen. Charles H. Percy (R. HI.) called on Palestine Liberation Organization chieftain Yasir Arafat to "restrain the terrorists if he wishes to have credibility or respect." At the same time Percy con¬ demned "this senseless act of terrorism." American Jewish leaders expressed horror and outrage and agreed that the attack was a calculated effort to thwart Kissinger's peace moves. They said the attack brands the PLO as nothing more than a gang of killers deserving not recognition but the condemnation of the world.

Professor Claims High Intermarriage Rate Not Producing Any Diminution In Jewishness
PHILADELPHIA — The National Women's Division convention of the American Jewish Congress was told last week that the high rate of intermarriage in the Jewish community — estimated at one in every three marriages — did not necessarily produce a diminution in Jewishness or Jewish observance.
Dr. Blanche Serwer, professor of psychology at Boston University, told some 500 convention delegates at the Bellevue Stratford Hotel here that many Jewish couples living in predominantly Christian environments because of school or job requirements took part in Christian celebrations such as Christmas, instead of Jewish festivals like Hanukkah, "out of inertia."
At the same time, Dr. Serwer said, she knew of interreligious and even interracial marriages where the non-Jewish partner "took"pains- -to--observe- Jewish "tradition and "clearly intended to give the children of the marriage a
Jewish upbringing."
A recent Jewish population study showed that in interreligious marriages where the wife was Jewish, nearly all the children were raised as Jews. Where the husband was Jewish, according to the study, 63 percent of the children were being raised as Jews.
The net effect of these family patterns, the study concluded, was that there was no major "loss" of Jewish children such as might be implied by a possible drifting to another religious view.
In her address to the American Jewish Congress women, Dr. Serwer said that major problems of Jewish
family life today arose from the increased mobility of Jewish young people, new and heavy career demands on the time of both fathers and mothers and the disappearance of the ex¬ tended family.
These developments made it "difficult to instill Jewish, values and Jewish culture at

Seek To Prevent Participants In Arab Boycott From Investing In U.S.
WASHINGTON (WNS) — A measure to prevent anyone participating in the Arab boycott from investing in United States companies has been introduced by Sen. Harrison A. Williams (D. NJ). The bill would prohibit investment by anyone "who has forced or attempted to force other firms .to boycott an American business because of its dealings with or in a foreign country with , which the . U.S. gas diplomatic relations." Williams declared the Arab boycott "is quite clearly and very distressingly, being pursued against U.S. businesses merely because they have ties to Jews or others considered friendly to
Israel or 'Zionism.'" Williams, chairman of the Senate Banking, Housing /and Urban Affairs Sub¬ committee on Securities, introduced the measure as an amendment to his proposed law which would monitor any investment of five percent or more by a foreign government, com¬ pany, or individual in a U.S. firm. The proposed law would -also give the President the authority . to prohibit the investment if It was not in the national in¬ terest. In a hearing before •Williams' subcommittee, former Ohio Sen. Howard M. Metzenbaum urged tightening of the proposed bill saying notice of a foreign
interest trying to acquire an American firm should not be confidential and submitted only to the President and the Security and Exchanges' Commission but should be made public.
But Administration of¬ ficials appearing before the subcommittee opposed any new law saying existing regulations were adequate. Jack F. Bennett, Un¬ dersecretary of Treasury, for Monetary Affairs, said foreign investment is needed to stimulate the economy and Warned against making "surveillance so oppressive as to drive' it away." Williams said "We have yet to get the feeling of urgency

In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court held unconstitutional a Texas statute that made abortion a crime except to save the life of the mother. In convicting Dr. Edelin, a Boston jury upheld the assertion of the prosecution that the Supreme Court /
ruling did not apply because the fetus which Dr. Edelin removed was able to live outside its mother's body.
